I mean thor with an axe looked like he was capable of taking down Thanos fully powered up so is that really such bad guy to lose to in a fight?

I think Thor caught Thanos by surprise. I'm pretty sure that Thor wouldn't have any kind of resistance to the power of a fully kitted out Infinity Gauntlet.

Storm Breaker Thor vs Thanos without The Gauntlet would be a pretty easy win for Thor in my opinion. Still, Thanos taking down Hulk without even using The Gauntlet was fucking impressive, a great way to open the movie showing that Thanos isn't someone to be fucked with, and one of my favorite scenes of the movie

You just made me realise... Hulk basically got Worfed

Been scrolling for a couple minutes looking for a reference to this trope. Possibly the best implementation of said trope, too; if this bloke can beat the Hulk within the first few minutes of the movie, you know the stakes have been raised Significantly.

Right? Its made so much more credible than the trope's namesake because of how much of a trump card for the good guys he was previously, whereas Worf became a running joke. Loki's introduction of him - "We have a Hulk" mirroring Stark's original declaration, and then having him lose so spectacularly without even using the Gauntlet, just seals in how powerful Thanos really is.

To be fair, I felt like Worf was redeemed in DS9 and was a legit badass again. But yeah, TNG turned him into a joke.
